Join in for a lovely trek to Karnala Fort - a quaint fort near Panvel that overlooks a sprawling bird sanctuary.

Trek up to Karnala and soak in the spectacular view with Haji Malang to the northeast, just before Prabalgad and Matheran; Bhimashankar to the east; Rajmachi and Duke's Nose to the south; the Mahal Mira hill range to the southwest and Mumbai to the west.

Once the capital of the northern Konkan regions, this fort came under the command of the Portuguese, was conquered by Chhatrapati Shivaji, later captured by various empires like the Mughals, the Peshwas and finally, by the British East India Company in 1818!
